I have a website with a .es domain, and I wanted to know if there is any SEO advantage in having a .com domain, or if applying the same SEO efforts to the page would yield the same results. Does anyone know if there is any difference, and if it would rank better?
None at all.
When it comes to SEO considerations between .com and .es domains, there are several factors to consider.
Target Audience: If your target audience is primarily Spanish-speaking or located in Spain, having a .es domain can potentially provide better localization and relevance in search results.
Global Reach: A .com domain is more universally recognized and may be better suited if your website aims to attract an international audience beyond Spain.
Keyword Relevance: Including keywords in your domain can still be beneficial for SEO, regardless of the domain extension. However, search engines have become more sophisticated and prioritize content quality and relevance over exact match domain names.
Geotargeting: Google’s Webmaster Tools allow you to specify your website’s geographic target regardless of the domain extension. This means you can still geotarget your content to Spain with a .com domain if desired.
Domain Authority: While domain extensions can play a minor role in SEO, factors such as domain age, backlinks, and content quality have a more significant impact on domain authority and search engine rankings.
Ultimately, the choice between a .com and .es domain should align with your target audience, branding strategy, and business objectives. Both can be effective for SEO when implemented with high-quality content, proper optimization, and relevant targeting.
Are you sure your information is up-to-date, @Theadsmediaofficial?
It is my understanding that Google no longer supports that.
